*CASED CATTLE BRAND ENGRAVED COLT NED BUNTLINE COMMEMORATIVE SINGLE ACTION REVOLVER. Cal. 45 Colt. SN NB1170. Nickel finish with 12” bbl, ramp front sight & fully adjustable rear sight on flat top frame. It has 2-pc Rampant Colt & eagle black composition grips. Entire surface of revolver, except front strap, has full coverage engraving of various Texas cattle brands including the famous XIT, DDD, 7UP and the whimsical 2 LAZY 2P, among numerous others. It all has a very nice punch dot background with feather patterns on sides of top strap. Right side of frame, in one of the leaves of a foliate pattern, are initials “WB” which stands for the late Weldon Bledsoe. Mr. Bledsoe essentially succeeded the late Cole Agee, who is recognized as the father of the Texas cattle brand engraving patterns. While the two only met once or twice, it is readily apparent that Mr. Bledsoe at least studied Mr. Agee’s work and incorporated the idea into his own work.

CONDITION: Exceptionally fine, unfired since custom plating after engraving. Grips are equally new. Case has a few scratches & small nicks but is essentially new. 4-60263 (2,500-4,500)
